Editor ignores the 80-column limit

[ewarwoowar-git]

The editor does not enforce or even indicate the 80-column width restriction when editing RPG or CL.

In RDi (my only comparison), if the line you are editing extends beyond the 80 character limit there is an audible warning for each new keystroke and a visual warning as demonstrated here:

Without this we are experiencing compilation issues which are obvious to fix in RDi but which are pretty well hidden in Code for i.

It depends. If you're using source dates in VS Code, then you will be warned about the limit. If you're not, you will not be warned.

You might also try Rulers for a visual indication:

This will give you three vertical lines:
